Amos 8 - Versions
Amos 8 Text (WEB) Thus the Lord Yahweh showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit. He said, "Amos, what do you see?" I said, "A basket of summer fruit." Then Yahweh said to me, "The end has come on my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more. The songs of the temple will be wailings in that day," says the Lord Yahweh. "The dead bodies will be many. In every place they will throw them out with silence. Hear this, you who desire to swallow up the needy, and cause the poor of the land to fail, Saying, 'When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell grain? And the Sabbath, that we may market wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel large, and dealing falsely with balances of deceit; that we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes, and sell the sweepings with the wheat?'" Yahweh has sworn by the pride of Jacob, "Surely I will never forget any of their works. Won't the land tremble for this, and everyone mourn who dwells in it? Yes, it will rise up wholly like the River; and it will be stirred up and sink again, like the River of Egypt. It will happen in that day," says the Lord Yahweh, "that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day. I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will make you wear sackcloth on all your bodies, and baldness on every head. I will make it like the mourning for an only son, and its end like a bitter day. Behold, the days come," says the Lord Yahweh, "that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of Yahweh. They will wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east; they will run back and forth to seek the word of Yahweh, and will not find it. In that day the beautiful virgins and the young men will faint for thirst. Those who swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, 'As your god, Dan, lives;' and, 'As the way of Beersheba lives;' they will fall, and never rise up again."
Amos 8 Text (Hebrew) כה הראני אדני יהוה והנה כלוב קיץ׃ ויאמר מה־אתה ראה עמוס ואמר כלוב קיץ ויאמר יהוה אלי בא הקץ אל־עמי ישראל לא־אוסיף עוד עבור לו׃ והילילו שירות היכל ביום ההוא נאם אדני יהוה רב הפגר בכל־מקום השליך הס׃ ף שמעו־זאת השאפים אביון ולשבית ־ארץ׃ לאמר מתי יעבר החדש ונשבירה שבר והשבת ונפתחה־בר להקטין איפה ולהגדיל שקל ולעות מאזני מרמה׃ לקנות בכסף דלים ואביון בעבור נעלים ומפל בר נשביר׃ נשבע יהוה בגאון יעקב אם־אשכח לנצח כל־מעשיהם׃ העל זאת לא־תרגז הארץ ואבל כל־יושב בה ועלתה כאר כלה ונגרשה כיאור מצרים׃ ס והיה ביום ההוא נאם אדני יהוה והבאתי השמש בצהרים והחשכתי לארץ ביום אור׃ והפכתי חגיכם לאבל וכל־שיריכם לקינה והעליתי על־כל־מתנים שק ועל־כל־ראש קרחה ושמתיה כאבל יחיד ואחריתה כיום מר׃ הנה ימים באים נאם אדני יהוה והשלחתי רעב בארץ לא־רעב ללחם ולא־צמא למים כי אם־לשמע את דברי יהוה׃ ונעו מים עד־ים ומצפון ועד־מזרח ישוטטו לבקש את־דבר־יהוה ולא ימצאו׃ ביום ההוא תתעלפנה הבתולת היפות והבחורים בצמא׃ הנשבעים באשמת שמרון ואמרו חי אלהיך דן וחי דרך באר־שבע ונפלו ולא־יקומו עוד׃ ס

Amos 8 Text (Latin) Hæc ostendit mihi Dominus Deus : et ecce uncinus pomorum. Et dixit : Quid tu vides, Amos ? Et dixi : Uncinum pomorum. Et dixit Dominus ad me : Venit finis super populum meum Israël ; non adjiciam ultra ut pertranseam eum. Et stridebunt cardines templi in die illa, dicit Dominus Deus : multi morientur ; in omni loco projicietur silentium. Audite hoc, qui conteritis pauperem, et deficere facitis egenos terræ, dicentes : Quando transibit mensis, et venundabimus merces ? et sabbatum, et aperiemus frumentum, ut imminuamus mensuram, et augeamus siclum, et supponamus stateras dolosas, ut possideamus in argento egenos et pauperes pro calceamentis, et quisquilias frumenti vendamus ? Juravit Dominus in superbiam Jacob : Si oblitus fuero usque ad finem omnia opera eorum. Numquid super isto non commovebitur terra, et lugebit omnis habitator ejus, et ascendet quasi fluvius universus, et ejicicetur, et defluet, quasi rivus Ægypti ? Et erit in die illa, dicit Dominus Deus : occidet sol in meridie, et tenebrescere faciam terram in die luminis : et convertam festivitates vestras in luctum, et omnia cantica vestra in planctum, et inducam super omne dorsum vestrum saccum, et super omne caput calvitium : et ponam eam quasi luctum unigeniti, et novissima ejus quasi diem amarum. Ecce dies veniunt, dicet Dominus, et mittam famem in terram : non famem panis, neque sitim aquæ, sed audiendi verbum Domini. Et commovebuntur a mari usque ad mare, et ab aquilone usque ad orientem : circuibunt quærentes verbum Domini, et non invenient. In die illa deficient virgines pulchræ et adolescentes in siti, qui jurant in delicto Samariæ, et dicunt : Vivit Deus tuus, Dan, et vivit via Bersabee ; et cadent, et non resurgent ultra.
Amos 8 Text (KJV) Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit. And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more. And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord GOD: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence. Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail, Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit? That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat? The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works. Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt. And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day: And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it. In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst. They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beer-sheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.
